What's that joke, "What's the difference between an alcoholic and a drunk? Alcoholics go to meetings."

I'm a drunk.

But they haven't done it because they are addicted, they've done it because it can be brilliant fun. Hilarious conversations, honesty and opening up, bonding with people - if everyone that drinks is an alcoholic, then its no more pubs. And then what are we all going to do? Have a coffee at Starbucks? Go ten pin bowling?

A pint and a cigarette in the pub was the last luxury for the British working classes. Now cigarettes are banned, will all drinkers now be tagged as alcoholics in denial? Who will save out great British pint??

If drinking causes you or someone else pain, then cut down or stop. If you can't stop then get professional help stopping. But I don't accept that ticking yes to three of those questions means you are "definitely an alcoholic". Because that would have at least half of British people in rehab tomorrow morning.

+1

Never mind having a drink problem, I'd rather be a smackhead than spend my fridays in a bowling alley.

Tired of pictures. Let's try quotes instead.

Major Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick: I'm a drunkard.
Captain Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.

From Casablanca, ofc!

You seem to think you can restore that classic car in your garage by drinking beer while staring at it.
